Ford Mainline Ranch Wagon - Statist of prosperity

January 13, 2023 — Paul Krüger 53

Modesty is an adornment. And it sometimes adorns a car body better than any chrome-plated strip. Simple everyday helpers like the Ford Ranch Wagon once stood in their thousands on every main road in the USA, bravely going about their duties together with their owners. But despite their numerical superiority, they were overshadowed by the splendor of the chrome-adorned show-off sleds. So in this article, we pay tribute to Ford's contribution to America's 1950s commuting scene by showing a 1953 Mainline Ranch Wagon in modern photographs and the Ford family from 1952 to 1954 in historic images and sales literature.

Ford Cortina Lotus Estate Custom - individual fast transporter

April 2, 2020 — Daniel Koch 71

In the sixties, anyone who wanted to turn an ordinary family sedan into a veritable racing car preferred to go to a specialist. One of these sports car manufacturers was Lotus with the ingenious lightweight designer Colin Chapman. And so it came about that the staid Ford Cortina became a terror for all established competitors in the touring car scene. Officially, there was no estate version, but the result was a one-off that shone with all the necessary ingredients. This report tells the story of the Ford Lotus Cortina, refers to the base models and portrays the individually created estate car.
